MRS. LANGTRY's PLAN.
The Lilly Very Anxious to Become an
American Citizen.
[pittsburg Dispatch.l

lPittsburg Dispatch.
Mrs. Langtry, just home from her west
ern tour, received her callers this evening
In q Japanese costume, and seated on a
Turkish divan in the drawing room OF her
house on West Twenty.thi street. She
was willing and anxious to talk about any
suit. On this and kindred topics she was
discreetly silent.
"Why didn't you become a citizen OF
New York 2" was asked.
ooh, 1t takes five years to qualify, as you
might say. Two years are enough in Cali
forhia, and you know l am In a hurry to
become an American woman. l shall be
afraid to go back to England, for have
temp ted all my servants away from their
allegiance. The butler and the footman
have both filed their intentions. Why, Pm
an awful rebel. A reporter who interviewed
me in San Francisco was an Englishman
and told him 1t was shame to stay in the
country and not be y citizen. He was per
suaded and took the oath. am converting
everybody, and can never show my face In
London again."
"To be thorough Californian you should
have rancb," suggested the caller,
"Oh, you should see the beautiful ranch
have IN California said the Lily. "A
good 5000 acres in Lake and Napa counties.
Doesn't that look as II / were In earnest?"
Speaking Of her future plans she said
~ am going to produce new piece by
Charles Coghlan this fall. He will play the
Williams part. In one act shall wear a
boy's costume OF the sixteenth century,
and have a tremendous combat with the
sword with Mr.. Coghlan. OF course
shall kill him. have practlced fencing fol
a year or more, and think 1t Will be an ef
fective scene. II the play is a success
shall keep It on the boards as long as the
public likes 1t. My plans are quite extern
sive for next season. Before 1t ends hope
to play In Texas"

quotations were carried below the opening
figures. The losses in the active stocks
from the highest figures were from to
per cent, the latter In st. Paul, but the

about recovered. The market closed very

BETTER SCHOOL FACILITIES
Are Called for by Citizens Of the North.
eastern section.


An adjourned meeting Of the citizens
association Of the eighth district was held
last night at the corner Of Fifteenth and II
streets northeast. There was fair attend
ance for so bad night. The only business
transacted was the adoption OF the report
Of the committee on schools which was APP
pointed at the last meeting. Following Is
the report In full:
Your committee on schools respectfully re-.
port that we have given to the consideration or
school matters nll the attention that our
limited time would allow, aud report as fol-
lows!
living between Glonwood road and the Eastern
branch, embracing an area Of about One-fourth
the entire District, aud population sfseyeral
thousand people, was destitute of school iacil-
tiles
In or about 1880 the good people OF this sec.
ton prevailed upon the authorities TO ask Con-
gress for an appropriation, and amer All ex-
penditure OF much time and labor the sum OF
$4,000 was procured, with which the site was
purchased and Mount Hamilton school was
erected, containing two rooms. About Jan.
j, 1881, the building was occupied with about
forty pupils IN attendance and one teacher,
but before the close Of that school year both
rooms were filled with well.behayed and stu.
Thus the attendance continued to grow until
more room was imperatlvely demanded; and Il
\ sufficient sum for an additional story was ap.
thus enlarged to four rooms. But here, In
1884, the story of Its prosperity began 70 re.
yere. The principal teacher, who had had
charge and who had built up the large attend.
ancc. resigned. and with his departure all in-
terest in the school on the part OF the author
tiles began to lose its force, aud the attend.
ance ut the close of the iohool year last past
DIV indlcd into insignificant proportions.
IL has now become necessary TO devise some
means by which this rctrograde movement
may be stopped, and we respectfully recon-
mend, as the result of our consideration, the
Rsoir6d, That the attention of the District
commissioners be especially called 10 the
future conduct of the Mt. Hamilton school,
Resolved further, That we suggest, as one
means toward the end Of reestablishing said
school. that male teacher of experience be
teacher care should be taken TO procure one
whose object will not be to use his opportuni.
ties for his advancement in some other sphere
Of usefulness, and In order to accomplish this
| a salary of at least $1,000 should be offered
upon conditions OF merited promotion.
In modest and fitting terms, we hold our chill
drens' interest as more sacred than our own,
and We purpose to pursue this subject with un.
remitting yiRor to the end that the negligence
| in this respect hitherto practiced upon us may
be recompensed even az the risk OF sacrifices
In other directions.
The request Of the association for the i'm
provement of the Bladensburg road, be-
tween Hickey's and Rupperps lanes, has
borne fruit. A member OF the committee
reported that the commissioners had re-
paired the road.
He needs 1t, and he'll have it-that Is, Com
missioner William b. Webb will have the RE-
| pVmICAN.

once good citizen of Brooklyn, afterward
Of Chicago, and finally barrister of this

the President will appoint him us he has
that Congress will pass his claim Of $25, 200
for defending some laborers In this city
some years ago. There is no record that
Hodnett's application has ever left the

that the President will ever see 1t.

DETROIT, Aug. 11.-A close decision at
the plate in the last inning saved the WASH
ingtons from being shut out this afternoon.
Gilmore pitched a great game for the States
men, but Gruber pitched a much greater
game for Detroit. The DetroIts fielding
was superb, and their punching OF two
triples and three singles In the seventh
yielding four earned runs, was heartily ap-
preciated by the crowd. Score:
